Simultaneous, all-or-nothing completion of both legs of a trade (asset + cash) in a single transaction. Eliminates settlement risk. A Solana transaction either fully executes all instructions or reverts completely, making partial settlement impossible by construction.
The guarantee that a confirmed transaction is irreversible and cannot be altered. Probabilistic finality (Bitcoin) means reversal becomes exponentially unlikely over time. Deterministic finality (Solana finalized, Tendermint) provides absolute guarantees after a protocol-defined threshold. Finality time ranges from seconds (Solana) to ~60 minutes (Bitcoin, 6 confirmations).
Settlement mechanism ensuring security delivery occurs simultaneously and conditionally with payment. Blockchain's atomic transactions naturally implement DvP — a single transaction transfers tokenized security and USDC atomically.

A distributed, append-only ledger that records transactions in cryptographically linked blocks. Each block contains a hash of the previous block, forming an immutable chain. Nodes in the network maintain copies of the ledger and reach agreement through consensus mechanisms. Blockchains enable trustless, decentralized record-keeping without a central authority.
The protocol by which nodes in a distributed network agree on the current state of the ledger. Common mechanisms include Proof of Work (Bitcoin), Proof of Stake (Ethereum, Solana), and BFT variants. Consensus ensures all honest nodes converge on the same transaction history despite potential network delays or malicious actors.
A consensus mechanism where validators are selected to produce blocks based on the amount of cryptocurrency they have staked (locked) as collateral. PoS is energy-efficient compared to Proof of Work. Misbehaving validators risk losing their stake (slashing). Solana, Ethereum (post-Merge), Cosmos, and Cardano use PoS variants.
A consensus mechanism where miners compete to solve computationally expensive puzzles to produce blocks and earn rewards. PoW provides strong security (51% attack resistance) but is energy-intensive. Bitcoin and pre-Merge Ethereum use PoW. The difficulty adjusts to maintain target block times regardless of total network hash power.
